Can I record from Listen again to cd or mp3 to play on tom tom 910

I would like to be able to record (for example the Archers or an Afternoon Play) so I can listen to it in the car or on a TOMTOM 910 store it as mps afain to listen in the car. It was easy when I had a radio cassette recorder at home which would "timer record" and the car had a radio cassette.
Would be even better if I could record from listen again or Radio 7.
I have a laptop as well as a PC but I am not very clever on the computer !

Sorry, but with the grammar and typos, I don't fully understand.

I believe you want to convert a CD to MP3 to play it into the car? If yes, have a look at Exact Audio Copy:

abit technical but you need the following:-

The direct link to the realaudio file with involves following the bbc source code or using the links at http://dave.org.uk/streams/
NetTransport - http://www.xi-soft.com/
And finally software to convert realaudio to mp3 - can't recommend any

It's a right hassle but it works

You want to record radio thro laptop to MP3 (or Tom Tom), didn´t think it could be done

Oh, how do you record a radio stream? Oh, now it makes sense.
Well, if it's a stream such as Shoutcast, I tend to use StreamRipper myself:

Or you could try Freecorder

Records whatever sounds your pc is playing to MP3

The BBC uses Real Player to stream it's listen again content to you on the web. There is a really good guide to downloading and converting real audio content here:

Also, the BBC does do some podcasts (which are in mp3 format) so you can download these directly and copy them to your 910.
See here for the BBC instructions:

This subject is also discussed at some length here. There's loads of ways to capture these streams and then convert them, but as it's a two-stage process then it's bound to be a bit fiddly.

As Lakeuk comments, still worth the effort. The BBC podcasts are still at the experimental stage, and exclude lots of music that's the subject of copyright agreements.
